Molten sugar, like a really thick maple sugar, cooled to just above skin temperature, a strip, no a blob is smeared over a small area, then a woman with strong biceps peels the sugar back rapidly, yanking out all the hairs. I hurts like you wouldn't believe,
but it doesn't stick or pull at your skin, which wax can do. Eventually the pain lessons and re-growth becomes sparser, but I wouldn't give the whole body a go, all in one day, for a good long while.
